Nasdaq rose 0.98% during intraday trading over 3 days... Bitcoin up 0.66% over 24 hours

Semiconductor stocks rebounded on the 3rd, lifting the Nasdaq Composite by 246.54 points (0.98%) to 25,410.9 intraday, while the S&P 500 rose 0.48% to 7,577.60 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.45% to 51,750.6, with closing prices not yet finalized. Bitcoin (BTC) gained 0.66% over the prior 24 hours during the same period. AMD ($AMD) climbed 4% and Broadcom ($AVGO) rose more than 3%, while Micron ($MU), Nvidia ($NVDA), and Intel ($INTC) each gained nearly 3%, reversing the Nasdaq's prior-day decline of more than 1%. The chip-sector rally matters as a signal of renewed risk appetite in equities, with bitcoin's modest gain suggesting limited spillover into crypto. Watch whether the semiconductor rebound holds through the close and whether BTC can extend gains alongside equity strength.
